Miriam Gould Barnaby, wife of Capt. John E. Barnaby, of Masonville, N. Y., died suddenly January 5, 1910, at the Presbyterian manse, Dresden, N. Y., the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Rev. J. Still.
She was the only surviving member of her family. Shs was born in Masonville, Delaware county, N. Y., April 10, 1837, at the old Robbins and Gould homestead, which has been in the family since 1813.
The most of her girlhood days were spent at Masonville, in caring for her widowed mother, except a few years spent with her uncle, Samuel Gould, at Ballston Spa, where she was attending school.
She took up her chosen profession and instructed the young for two years. Then her mother's failing health called her to home duties.
At the close of the Civil War, she married Capt. John E. Barnaby, December 13, 1865. Four girls blessed their union. She leaves to bless her memory her husband, her eldest daughter, Emeline, wife of Rev. J. Still, her youngest daughter, Bessie P. S. Barnby, a teacher in the Wassaic graded school, and one grandson, John Barbaby Still.
To know her was to love her. She was noted for her charities and kindness to the poor, and had been a church member nearly fifty years, and her even, beautiful Christian life was a shining example of purity and devotion to the true principles of religious bearings. She was beautiful in person, lovely in character, and her worth shone in all the functions of social requirements. But it was within the environments of her home where she found the pleasure of her earthly life. Her throne was there, where she was pre-eminent in her deep love, and where radiated all the virtues of being consecrated to family ties.
Her relatives, friends and guests all felt the indefinable charm of her winning disposition. And now that the pure spirit has severed the cord that bound her to earth, "and her immortal part with angels live," we would add our tribute to the memory of the gentle-voiced woman whose tones are hushed for a time and whose kindly presence is withheld for a reunion beyond.
The funeral services were held at the manse, Friday afternoon at four o'clock, the Rev. J. Wilford Jacks, D. D., officiating. Two selections, "Go Bury Thy Sorrow" and "Sun of My Soul," were sweetly rendered by Mrs. Harriet Remer and Mrs. E. C. Nutt, accompanied on the piano by Miss Brundage. The committal service was beautifully and impressively rendered at the manse with white carnations, the emblematic flower of motherhood.
The remains, covered with the flowers she loved, were placed in the receiving vault at Penn Yan, burial to be at Masonville in the spring. The pall bearers were Elders, N. E. Gelder, and J. M. Frey, Deacons, C. D. Brundage and G. D. Tompkins, and Trustees W. H. Horton and E. C. Nutt.
"We miss thee, mother, dear, gone is the sunlight from thine eye; faded from thy face the ever welcome smile.
The gentle touch of thy loving hand is stayed. Beyond the storms of life thou hast found sweet rest within the veil,
for all thy weariness a balm. We know that at the portals of the great Unseen, Unknown, thou art waiting, watching, again to welcome us as in the days of yore."
